Palestinians refuse to be forgotten
Seventy-eight years have passed since May 15, 1948: 78 years since the Nakba, 78 years of injustice, 78 years of violence, 78 years of displacement. Yet they are still here. The Palestinians have endured and will prevail. It has been said that “the old will die and the young will forget,” in the hope that the concept of Palestinian refugees and the idea of Palestine would fall into oblivion. This is wrong. The young have not forgotten and the Palestinian issue is alive and kicking. Today, Palestine is no longer only an issue for the Palestinians — it is an issue for the entirety of humanity.
